Marcus Smart has been identified as a potential trade target for the Lakers. This is the package they must offer the Wizards.

The proposed trade would drastically improve the Los Angeles Lakers perimeter defense by adding the former Defensive Player of the Year.

Analyst Colin Cowherd believes the rumors that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James could announce his retirement soon.

Aside from Smart, the Lakers have also been linked to other backcourt defenders like Gary Payton II and Davion Mitchell.
